Very helpful staff. Lovely cosy room in amongst the trees. The dinner in the restaurant was also very good; however breakfast could be improved (pastries were stale and healthier options were limited)

Cute and cosy accommodation right by nice bars, restaurants and shops. Also close to beach and marina. The light breakfast provided in the room was a lovely touch. Rooms were clean and the owners were very friendly, accommodating and very knowledgable about exploring Whitianga and the surrounding area. Would definitely book to stay here again when visiting the Coromandel again.
